Residency Program
Turley Family Health Center
The heart of our residency program is the Turley Family Health Center (THFC), our state-of-the-art outpatient home. It is equipped with an electronic medical record integrated with that of our hospital system, computers in each of the 36 exam rooms, a wireless network, seven procedure rooms, spacious waiting rooms, and on-site laboratory and imaging services. Upstairs we have a lecture hall for daily noon conferences, a library, a conference room, and desk/office space for each resident.
Family medicine clinic is woven into each rotation during the three years of residency, with the exception of night float and any away rotations. Interns have one half-day of clinic weekly, PGY-2 residents have one and one-half days weekly, and PGY-3 residents have two and one-half clinic days weekly. The number of patients seen in each half-day session increases throughout residency as the resident’s efficiency and skill increases. Residents become adept at billing & coding and EHR use in addition to providing high quality, evidenced-based medical care to patients of all ages. Procedures are scheduled both within family medicine clinic and in a separate dermatology clinic, and include dermatologic, gynecologic, and musculoskeletal procedures. Residents also spend time throughout residency in weight management, pharmacy, geriatrics, and sports medicine clinics at Turley.
We perform approximately 25,000 office visits annually at the TFHC and care for patients of all ages with diverse medical problems. In addition to standard primary care, we offer maternity care, sports medicine consultation, behavioral health consultation, pharmacy consultation, ultrasound, weight management, and multiple procedures including skin procedures, joint injections, and gynecologic procedures.
Women’s Health Center at Turley
For more than 20 years, the Women’s Center at the Turley Family Health Center has been serving the healthcare needs of the women of our community, through generations and throughout all phases of their lives. Our obstetrical team and resident physicians deliver more than 350 babies every year. We offer full spectrum midwifery services. Our Cesarean section rate is below the national average. In addition to prenatal and postpartum care we offer routine well woman exams, breast exams, mammogram referrals and cervical cancer screening, colposcopy, LEEP, endometrial biopsy procedures, contraception counseling and management including LARC (long acting reversible contraception) options- Nexplanon, IUD insertion and removal procedures, STD testing and treatment.
Weight Management
As part of our longitudinal Nutrition curriculum, our new Weight Management clinic is an exciting addition to the Turley Family Health Center. Residents see a diverse age range of patients and treat them in a holistic perspective by addressing unique biopsychosocial concerns. Residents manage weight loss medications, counsel on diet and nutrition, recommend appropriate physical activity, and counsel on specific behavioral and risk factors inherent to obesity. This is also a multidisciplinary service, with nutrition, pharmacy, and behavioral assistance available to our patients.
